 a wireless communication device accommodated in the second housing, the wireless communication device including:
 an antenna; 
 a wireless communication module connected to the control unit and the antenna for performing wireless communication through the antenna under control of the control unit; and 
 a circuit board with patterned interconnection, on which the antenna is disposed, the wireless communication module being carried on the circuit board to establish electrical connection, and being connected to the control unit and the antenna through the patterned interconnection of the circuit board. 
 
 
     
     
       2. The portable electronic apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the wireless communication module comprises:
 a plurality of electronic elements disposed on the circuit board for performing wireless communication; and 
 a cover layer disposed on the circuit board, the cover layer having at least one via hole which exposes a part of the circuit board; 
 wherein the antenna is disposed on a surface of the cover layer of the wireless communication module, and is electrically connected to the circuit board through the at least one via hole. 
 
     
     
       3. The portable electronic apparatus according to  claim 2 , wherein the cover layer is a molding material layer which covers the circuit board, and the at least one via hole passes through the molding material layer to expose a part of the circuit board. 
     
     
       4. The portable electronic apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the antenna is a planar antenna comprising metal, the metal layer being disposed on the surface of the molding material layer by way of metal deposition, and the planar antenna being electrically connected to the circuit board through the at least one via hole. 
     
     
       5. The portable electronic apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the wireless communication module further comprises:
 a conductor element protruded from the circuit board, a part of which is exposed by the at east one via hole; 
 wherein the antenna is a planar antenna comprising metal, the planar antenna being disposed on the surface of the molding material layer by way of metal deposition, and the planar antenna being electrically connected to the conductor element through the at least one via hole, so as to be electrically connected to the circuit board. 
 
     
     
       6. The portable electronic apparatus according to  claim 3 , wherein the wireless communication module further comprises:
 a conductor material layer, disposed on the inside of the at least one via hole of the molding material layer, contacting with the circuit board exposed by the at least one via hole, and extending out of the at least one via hole; 
 wherein the antenna is a planar antenna comprising metal, and the planar antenna being electrically connected to the conductor material layer which extends out of the at least one via hole, so as to be electrically connected to the circuit board.
